Casey's Cupcakes Location Closure

Earlier this month the Orange County Register reported that Casey's Cupcakes Laguna Beach location has closed. The Laguna Beach store was the second of six Casey's Cupcakes in Southern California. 

The article says that they plan on re-opening their shop, but no location has been given yet. Laguna Beach is the hometown of Casey Reinhardt, the owner of Casey's Cupcakes, so I might think that a nearby location would be a priority.

I reviewed Casey's Cupcakes last year when I stopped by their Irvine Spectrum location. You can read my review HERE.

Casey's Cupcakes to Overtake Sprinkles?

According to an interview with the Fast Food Maven, Casey Reinhardt, owner of Casey's Cupcakes, is expanding her company with hopes to become a national brand. Casey's Cupcakes has been in the news a lot this year with the opening of a new location in Laguna Beach and an appearance (and win!) on Cupcake Wars. And now she's adding two more locations: Irvine and Newport Beach.

Her Newport Beach store will be at Fashion Island, just a hop, skip, & jump away from Sprinkles Cupcakes. Can Casey's Cupcakes compete with Sprinkles?

Not only is Casey dotting the map with her stores, she is also adding more products. Doggie cupcakes and cupcake lollipops will soon be available for sale.

Some people believe that the cupcake craze will fade, but Casey and I share the same thought when she says, "I believe that people will always eats sweets. It makes people feel better."

Casey's Cupcakes to Expand to Laguna Beach

Last summer I reported on the opening of Casey's Cupcakes in Riverside, CA. I haven't tried their cupcakes yet, but I'm seen them and they look delicious! The owner, Casey Reinhardt, was on the MTV reality show "Laguna Beach," so her announcement of a new Laguna Beach store totally makes sense.

According to their Facebook page, Casey's Cupcakes is expanding to Laguna Beach and will be opening shop on Valentine's Day. Although this will be the flagship store, the cupcakes will continue to be made at the The Mission Inn in Riverside.

Laguna Beach Star Opens Cupcake Shop

You might recognize Casey Reinhardt from the MTV "reality show" Laguna Beach. You might recognize her as the sister of Doug Reinhardt, the guy who dated Paris Hilton. But Casey Reinhardt is making a name for herself. She has recently opened a cupcake shop in Riverside.




Casey's Cupcakes and Cappuccinos is located in the Mission Inn Hotel and Spa in Riverside. The shop offers flavors such as Rockin' Red Velvet, Marvelous Milk Chocolate, Caribbean Coconut, and Scrumptious Cinnamon Sugar. Casey's Cupcakes has received mixed reviews on Yelp, but it seems that people are more likely to comment when they have a bad experience. Her cupcakes sell for $3.50, which is one of the highest prices I've seen for cupcakes. They better be great cupcakes for that price.

According to the Orange County Register, Casey has plans to expand into Orange County. I'll keep you posted on when that happens.
